Requests:  0 Summary:  "A tenacious Māori detective, Hana Westerman juggles single motherhood, endemic prejudice, and the pressures of her career in Auckland CIB. Led to a crime scene by a mysterious video, she discovers a man ritualistically hanging in a secret room and a puzzling inward-curving inscription. Delving into the investigation after a second, apparently unrelated, death, she uncovers a chilling connection to a historic crime: 160 years before, during the brutal and bloody British colonization of New Zealand, a troop of colonial soldiers unjustly executed a Māori Chief. Hana realizes that the murders are utu-the Māori tradition of rebalancing for the crime committed eight generations ago. There were six soldiers in the British troop, and since descendants of two of the soldiers have been killed, four more potential murders remain. Hana is thus hunting New Zealand's first serial killer. The pursuit soon becomes frighteningly personal, recalling the painful event when as a new cop two decades before, Hana was part of a police team sent to end by force a land rights occupation by indigenous peoples on the same ancestral mountain where the Chief was killed, calling once more into question her loyalty to her roots. Worse still, a genealogical link to the British soldiers brings the case terrifyingly close to Hana's own family"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aiea Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Fic Bennett   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books H Bennett   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennett   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennett MYSTERY Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennett   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennett   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennet   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennett   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennett   Shelving Cart Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Bennett [Mystery] Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
